Short Stories - Flaritza

Bandaid part 2

Maritza felt herself being gingerly shaken awake, she winced at the sudden light and hid her face under the covers and into Flaca's chest

"Come on, lunch is in a few. Go get ready"

Flaca says tiredly as she slipped out of the bunk leaving a covered Maritza. She smiles realizing that Flaca must've covered her while she was asleep, and then her smile fades away as she remembered what Flaca had said. She still had no idea on how to deal with this

Should she show more affection to the Latina to let her know she means a lot to her? Flaca would probably think she's using her cause she's lonely.

Maybe just talk to her about it? How would she even bring that topic up "hey can we talk? About what? Oh nothing I just heard you last night thought it would be a fun chat to have you know"

She sits up in her bunk still dazed and half asleep

"did you get some rest?"

Flaca says as she put her hair in a messy bun and gently combed her bangs downwards

"hmm, took me a few minutes to fall asleep but I did at some point- obviously"

Maritza panics. why would she ask that? Did she know that she was awake?

"girl shut up you were snoring like a freak after 5 mins"

Flaca snorts looking at Maritza through the mirror, she was smiling but her eyes looked sad

"I don't snore!"

"Yes you do, it's cute- quiet little snores -like a little hedgehog or some shit"

Flaca says before grabbing her toiletries

"I'll meet you at the cafeteria or do you want me to come back here?"

Flaca asks turning around before leaving

"nah it's okay, go ahead I'll catch up with you later"

Maritza says offering a small smile, Flaca gives her an adorable smirk as she put two fingers to her forehead and pulled them a way in a quickened motion, saluting the other girl and heading out to get to the showers

Maritza got ready slowly most of the time distracted by her thoughts and Flaca's pleading voice from last night telling her how she doesn't want to be just her bandaid

When she gets to the bathrooms the tall girl isn't there so she takes a quick rinse, applies her eyeliner and looks at her in the mirror, talking to herself in her mind for a few seconds before heading out to the cafeteria.

She gets her plate and her eyes immediately bolt to the tall figure sitting a few tables away, her head lowered, her eyes glued to the table as she played with her food with no intention of eating it.

Maritza heads to the drink dispenser and pours herself a cup of water now seeing Flaca from behind and being able to eavesdrop on what Ruiz was saying

"Like really I feel bad for you, you're the only one who's gonna get hurt really badly"

She says looking at Flaca with a pair of puppy eyes and an evil smile accompanying it

you could tell she was irritated by the conversation as her leg was bouncing up and down restlessly, but she didn't have the energy to argue. The girl just huffs sadly and shrugs her shoulders

"As usual"

She lets out, Ruiz scoffs loudly and looks over to Maritza

"That girl bout to rip your heart to a million pieces when either of you is out"
